If Kamala Harris decides to run for governor in California, she could find herself running against Trump ally and friend Ric Grenell.
Grenell has been in the news quite a bit lately. Trump just named him the interim executive director of the Kennedy Center. Grenell also played a major role in the return of six Americans who were being held in Venezuela last week.
Grenell would be a formidable opponent for Kamala Harris in California, a state which clearly needs a major change in leadership.
Breitbart News reports:
Richard Grenell Considering Run for California Governor if Kamala Harris Runs
Richard Grenell, President Donald Trump’s Envoy for Special Missions, said he would consider a run for governor of California if former Vice President Kamala Harris also ran, adding that he “wouldn’t say no.”
Grenell explained to reporters at the Munich Security Conference in Germany that Harris “has such baggage and hundreds of millions of dollars in educating the voters” on how terrible she is, that the Republican candidate for governor in California would have a chance, according to the New York Post.
“If Kamala Harris runs for governor, I believe that she has such baggage and hundreds of millions of dollars in educating the voters of how terrible she is, that it’s a new day in California, and that the Republican actually has a shot,” Grenell explained.
Grenell’s words come as a survey conducted by Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill found that Harris “snagged support for a hypothetical gubernatorial bid from nearly 6 in 10 Democratic primary voters in California, 57 percent.”
This is big news.
Ric Grenell told reporters in Munich he would consider running for California governor if Kamala Harris enters the race, per pool.
“If Kamala Harris runs for governor … It's a new day in California and that the Republican actually has a shot, and I wouldn't say no," he said.

Some people seem pretty excited about the idea.
I will drop everything to campaign for @RichardGrenell – he is one of the finest, most talented, hardworking people I've ever known. He has integrity, wisdom, plus he's a gentleman. Ric is a true national treasure. #RunRicRun
